i thought certain chemicals can seep into the silicon thus knackering the cpu, cant seem to find anything on it but im sure i read something about it a while ago.

Help KC upgrade please So Much Win (or not.. Maybe I don't need an upgrade)
So I have some spare moneys (about 700usd) and was thinking what should be my next purchase. I will list my complete setup below with purchase dates:
-Fractal Defince C atx case - 2017
-Evga G2 550w psu - 2017
-RTX 2070 MSI armor - 2019
-Asrock p67 pro3, i5-2500k(4.5) and 2x4gb hyperx 1333mhz memory - 2012 (9 years going :O )
-Plextor 128gb ssd for system - 2013
-Seagate firecuda sshd 1tb - 2018

So yeah, PSU, Case, GPU are all new and fine. The only thing that might need an upgrade is mobo/cpu/ram + fuck to all 2.5" drives and go full m.2/nvme migration.
Is standard ryzen 2700+ b450 + 2x8gb the answer?
I would also like to go micro atx but with that huge 30cm 2070 it's a no go.
The Asrock p67 mobo started giving me issues few years ago. Ethernet port broke down, so I had to get ethernet pci card. USB slots are wonky and cut off and I had to get pci card. No usb3 front header and case supports it. I only have 2x3.0 usb ports and those are etron non vr compatible ports. Oculus hates them but I no longer have oculus

Btw - For peripherals I use:
-Logitech G400 mouse - 2011 (yay)
-Fiio e10k - 2014, Mackie cr3 speakers and Koss porta pro headphones
-Keyboard is Masterkeys pro L pbt I've bought last year. It kinda sucks. I don't like brown switches. Blacks I've had on last cherry were better.
-And most important - I game on a 4k monitor. Lg 27uk650. Run most games on full 4k or 1800p if needed. It's 40-60 freesync.

Any idea when it's coming? Is it a full platform launch or do we just wait for new am4 processors? b450 or new ?

New chipset and CPU. But the CPUs are backwards compatible to most AM4 mobos. The bios updates are already out for most manufacturers.

I'd wait for it now.

The next number in line. X570. Obviously they will bring new AM4 chipsets with their Zen 2 (Ryzen 3XXX) Generation CPUs.

So for best results with zen2 (ryzen 3xxx), I will also need a new mobo.
Also - what was that with very fast ssd, new pci express or something incoming ?

SSD speeds wont change with new chipsets, but there is a possibility for PCIe 4.0. We cant be sure about that. But I dont think it will make a noticeable difference.

The important thing is that these chipsets might support some CPU specific things that older chipsets wont. Like XFR3? or something like that.

at what point can ssds replace ram i wonder , just for normal use case surfing n watching video n old games, i wonder if a machine actually still needs memory if it was programmed to use just ssd as vurtual memory and the bios of motherboards programmed to not need memory plugged in.

near future one could say gfx cards and memory become entirely obselete for casual joe n office use,

heck, right now i think u could even replace every computer in an office with just a 60 usd phone hooked to a monitor and a usb keyboard n mouse if one really wanted to. it might not be as convenient, but the power and noise saving , so worth it.

I don't think SSD's will replace RAM any time soon. Non-volatile memory is much much slower than DRAM. We'll have to wait for Magnetoresistive random-access memory to arrive for consumers before we'll see Non-volatile RAM that is faster than the DDR4 of today.

Quote:
Magnetoresistive RAM is one of the newest approaches to non-volatile memory and stores data in magnetic storage elements called magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). MRAM has an especially promising future as it seeks to encompass all the desirable features of the other popular types of memory (non-volatility, infinite endurance, high-speed reading/writing, low cost).

The first generation of MRAM, such as Everspin Technologies' 4 Mbit, utilized field-induced writing. The second generation is developed mainly through two approaches: Thermal-assisted switching (TAS) which is being developed by Crocus Technology, and Spin-transfer torque (STT) which Crocus, Hynix, IBM, and several other companies are developing.


This is advanced level stuff which is promising a lot like infinite endurance, non-volatility, low cost, high-speed reading/writing. Near instant on/off without losing the content of the memory. They're still researching manufacturing techniques and stuff like that but in the end they should look pretty much like the RAM of today.

You could probably get a 128MB module with DDR4-compatible pins from Everspin Technologies later this year but I doubt it would just work on a current motherboard without modifications to hardware and OS.

If you find a card (NVMe, U.2, PCIe etc.) you'll most likely have to sell your kidneys and an arm for it. From what I can see they're aiming at the enterprise market at this point. We'll see if Samsung et al can sort it out for us consumers:

The nosmt mitigation isn't meant for 8th and 9th gen Intel CPU's.

I did a test by turning off the spectre + meltdown protection on my i5 8400 a while back and ran various benches on it and the difference was barely noticeable.

Again, no point worrying about disabling hyperthreading if you've got an 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/mds.html

There may be conflicting reports from other sources but unless you feel particularly targeted by Zombieload, ignore it unless you've get earlier gen CPU's and even then it's importance is limited. 99% of the user on ze hump don't perform workloads on their home pc's that contain severely important secret information that the ruskies or chinamen are after.
